The only boring part in the battle was the Empoleon vs. Pikachu one. There wasn't as much dodging like in the previous matches. It was just boring. Barry should have used a better Pokemon and maybe there would have been more dodging like in the previous matches.

First of all... wow, Barry's such an ***. I seriously thought he would be more of the fun loving sort of character who would admire Ash's Pikachu or something along those lines since he was pretty quirky in the games. I also really hated his voice because it seemed too mature. I'd rather it have been more kiddish.

Barry is acting like such a little kid. I thought he would act more mature. If he knew Paul's 'real ways' he probably wouldn't like him anymore. The battle was good, except Empoleon vs. Pikachu was pretty boring. Ash taught Barry a lesson!

I liked the battle between Gliscor and Roserade. When it ended, they were still in mid-grapple; no wonder it was a tie. It was funny how James reacted to Barry's comment about how strong Gardenia's Cacnea had been.

It's funny, when I saw Barry in the games and the early episode pics for his episodes, I didn't really think that much of him. Then these episodes came to the U.S., and suddenly Barry catapulted to being one of my top favorite characters featured on the series, becoming the first character introduced outside of the first five episodes to do so (after Team Rocket and Brock). Barry is AWESOME. He cracks me up to no end, and he reminds me of how hyper I can be at times. Here's to hoping we'll see more of him outside of Sinnoh, unlike Morrison, another big favorite of mine who hasn't been seen since leaving Hoenn.

And I also loved the reference to Cacnea, and James's delight in hearing about it again. Man, I miss Cacnea.

If I didn't mention it before, I just gotta say that his Staraptor sucks. Ash's Staraptor's attacks are better compared to Barry's. Wing Attack isn't so bad but tackle?! Where's Aerial Ace?! To know Tackle and lose to a Chimchar is just simply embarrasing imo.

Ash's team right now

If you think the Sinnoh saga has been the best saga of the whole show, copy and paste this into your signature! (started by FlameRose)

If you deny any sort of existence of Iris's hair, put this into your sig (started by 5ilVer)

I think they purposely made Staraptor weaker for two reasons:

1. They wanted to showcase most of Staraptor's abilities when Ash got his, so they made Barry's weaker.

LOL at the title of this episode, too funny. Anyway, I like Barry and I think he'll be a great rival for Ash. His team is so cool and is similar to my team in Pearl version. Ash and Barry's battle was also very good. Fantastic episode.

Hm he was okay I guess, there was something about him I didn't like that much. Maybe because I thought he would be loud and more interesting really. The battle wasn't too bad though.

Fantina really reminds me of a neighbor I used to have with the same French accent. Fantina does look more female then she does in the game which is kinda looks like a guy.

James's reaction to Cacnea was funny, and it was good that he remembered it too. I wonder if we would ever see it again probably not unless Cacnea gets a third evolution then that would be a possibility.

Claims Amber Benson as Bishie
United we stand but separated we fall
As of April 18th, 2015, I met, hugged, took a selfie and a video with Amber Benson. This signature stands to the days where I wished for it, and that dream became reality.
